3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Game of Death (1978)?
a.		The inspiration for progressively ascending a pagoda tower to fight opponents was originally featured in Chang Chehs swordplay epic Bao Biao (1969) aka Have Sword Will Travel written by resident Shaw Brother screenwriter Kuang Ni.
b.		During the shooting of this movie, John Ford had put John Wayne down every chance he got, because Wayne had not enlisted to fight in World War II. Ford commanded a naval photographic unit during the war rising to the rank of captain and thought Wayne a coward for staying behind. After months of heaping insults on Waynes head, costar Robert Montgomery finally approached the director and told him that if he was putting Wayne down for Montgomerys benefit (Montgomery had served in the war), then he needed to stop immediately. This brought the tough-as-nails director to tears and he stopped abusing Wayne.
c.		Lauries last name, Juspeczyk, is never spoken at any point in the film. Rorschach even calls her Jupiter in one scene, despite the fact that in the graphic novel Laurie resents her mothers use of Jupiter to distance herself from her Polish roots. Her name is still written down as Juspeczyk at one point in the film. This is likely a nod to the fact that neither Dave Gibbons nor Alan Moore settled on a pronunciation for her name when the comic was made, although they have offered some guesses.
d.		Remos pleased reaction to Chiun calling him "my son," and responding in kind by calling him "little father," is based in part on an earlier scene that was cut from the film in which Remo calls Chiun "little father" for the first time, provoking a strong negative reaction from Chiun. At that point, Remo was still unaware that Chiun was contractually obligated to kill him if CURE were ever in danger of being exposed.

b.		David Ayer first met Christian Bale when Bale auditioned for Training Day, for the role that ultimately went to Ethan Hawke. Ayer liked Bales intensity, and gave him the Harsh Times script.
